We decided to slow down the intros so for the past week or so, we have allowed Frankie to spend time in the house on his own (the other kitties spent time in his room while he is up and about). He gets all worked up when he is free in the house and I am guessing that he has a lot of anxiety about it. We hope that if he spends longer periods of time in the house on his own, this anxiey will subside and when he gets to be around the other babies, things will go smoother. It's all a lot of guessing and waiting at this point...He is for sure interested in dominance, we just pray that they will eventually work things up.
What is interesting is the fact that Frankie, Tubi and Leo can eat together with no problems; we take the baby gates down, Frankie comes out in the hallway and waits for me to come up the steps with the food bowls followed by Tubi and Leo. So, food brings them together...It's the meeting "outside" eating time that has been a problem...
I am also hoping that time and patience will pay off, the same way they did when we worked with Sweet Pea.
We are raising tiger tabby Tubi, grey long hair Chloe, orange tuxedo tabby Leo, Lynnx Point Siamese Sweet Pea and black short hair Frankie. At the rainbow bridge we have Annie, Heidi Ann and Sammy. I have two major passions in my life, vintage costume jewelry and cats. The kids are spoiled rotten (as all cats should be) and don’t help much with the stores... But our little rainbow bridge angel Sammy makes up for this. He is with me in spirit, every day as I work on inventory or do paper work.
